Lance Emerson Kunderman was 22 when he left Waterloo, Ontario, for the West and was last heard from while in Vancouver, British Columbia. Family contact ceased after a phone call on December 26, 1982, though some reports list 1983 as the year of last contact, creating uncertainty about the exact date he disappeared. At the time he was described as red-haired with a beard, blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 125 pounds.

Kunderman had told family he was working with Eric Clapton’s road crew and was headed to Los Angeles, a claim later questioned and treated as possible rather than confirmed. Because he was believed to be traveling for work, several months passed before his family recognised something was wrong; both Waterloo Regional Police and the Vancouver Police Department have kept the investigation open. A renewed media push occurred in 2014, but no definitive answers have emerged.

If anyone knew Lance, his movements in western Canada, or his possible work with the band, can you share what you remember?
